Austin's history with defensive backs bodes well for an organization that had trouble developing quality cornerbacks under the Jim Schwartz-Gunther Cunningham regime.

The best news for Lions fans is that Caldwell and Austin are expected to keep the 4-3 scheme in place. Suh, Fairley and 2013 team defensive MVP DeAndre Levy are all best suited to the 4-3. Changing schemes would have set this team back years on defense.
